.com to .org problem

Been trying to move my wordpress.com site to wordpress.org for a week now and can’t seem to find the missing piece of my puzzle anywhere in the forums…

Basically, I have my .com site. I have my http://www.domain. I have hosting via dreamhost. I have exported and then imported back via my www but just seem to be going round in a .com circle as it still says .com on my site page. Do I need to delete my .com site after export and then install it from scratch and import?

Thanks for the reply. I tried that last week. I pointed my domain site name servers at Dreamhost and my site went down. I contacted Dreamhost who told me to point the name servers back at wordpress and it came back up.

No – you need to point the domain name to your new site – which I assume is hosted with Dreamhost. Bear in mind that this change will take 48 – 72 hours to propagate fully during which time your site will not be accessible.
